The Brain skill lives in skills/brain/ in this
repo. To test with Claude Code, it needs to be discoverable at
~/.claude/skills/. Symlinks let you test the live repo version without
copying or manual syncing.
- Create the global skills directory if it doesn't exist:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills- Symlink the skill directory:
ln -s /Users/mattm/Projects/Elucidata/brain-cli/skills/brain ~/.claude/skills/brain- Verify the link resolved correctly:
ls -la ~/.claude/skills/
cat ~/.claude/skills/brain/SKILL.md | head -5After linking, open a new Claude Code session in any project and run
/brain init. The dispatcher should resolve and the init script should
scaffold ./_brain/ in the target project folder.
To uninstall, remove the symlinks:
rm ~/.claude/skills/brain ~/.claude/skills/brain-info
